An association In New York, composed
of women, is known as the "Conslitution
CLUB" The other night Mrs. Isabella
Beecher Hooker delivered q lecture to the
club on "PolIce Reform" She said that
the police force of New York ought to be
reorganized, with a woman as superin-
tendent and the appointment of an equal
number Of men and women TO the ranks.
Every officer of the force should be gem
tleman or lady in the best sense of the
word-clean within and without, avoid
ing vulgar or profane language and in
dulging in neither liquor nor tobacco.
Every member OF the force should be
trained in the use of firearms and ordered
to shoot in the leg when necessary to
shoot at all. Mrs. Hooker instanced
Zeno5is, of Palmyra; Catherine, OF Rus
STA, and Maria Teresa, OF Austria, as
proofs of woman's ability to command a
semi-military force. If there were men
enough IN the country to provide hus-
bands for all the women, precious little
would be heard of woman suffrage and
women police.

High license and Local Option.


The vote on the prohibition amendment
in Michigan was very. close, the majority
against it only being a few thousand. 1t
is admitted that it wasn'tdefeated wholly
by the liquor men. The moderate tenn
perance element threw a heavy vote
against 1t.
There is a strong sentiment among the
best people Of the State that the adoption
of prohibition would not be advisable. 1t
is not very long since Michigan had a
prohibition law, and it was about as good
a one as human wisdom could form. 1t
was a failure. While it was in force
there was more drunkenness than ever
before. Public sentiment in the
cities and larger towns was against it,
and it could not be enforced. 1t was,
therefore, repealed and high license
adopted. High license has worked we'll

THE READING TROUBLE.
The Convention Orders a Gen
eral Strike.
A Complete Tie-Up Expected
To-Day.
Accident On the Pitsburg and
Western Road.
The Great Strike.

READING, Dec 30.-The convention,
representing all employees of the Reading
company and miners of the SchuYlkill,
Lchigh and Wyoming Unions, adjourned
shortly before 4 o'clock this morning after
ordering a strike of all employees of the
Reading railroad on the whole system
from Elizabethport, N. j., to Williams
port, Pa. The order does not include the
passenger train service and signal tower
men, lagmen and trackwalkers. 1t is
left to the discretion of the local assem-
blies as to whether switchmeu shall be al
lowed to work or not.
The question of the miners strike is
postponed until after the LIST Of January,
but the sentiment of the miners delegates
was in favor of strikes. Delegates arc
angry this morning at the announcement
that the steamer Elizabethport, with $50
men to take the places OF strikers, had
arrived.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3O.-An unusu-
ally large meeting of local assembly No.
$500 was held tonight. At its conclu-
sion it was stated that $500 had resolved
to abide by the action of the Reading
convention and refuse to go to work to-
morrow morning.
louisville, Pa, Dec. 30.-Although,
judging from surface indications that the
order to the Reading railroad men 10
strike has fallen fiat, yet, if reliance is to
placed upon the statements and claims of
Chairman Lee, who returned to this city
IRON Philadelphia this morning, to-mor-
row will witness an uphcaval in compari-
son with which the original premature
strike was a mere bagatclle.

Tho st. Andreasborg Canary.

"The finest Of all canaries," said a
dealer, 'is the St. A~udreasberg bird, SO
called after one of the Hartz mountains,
Germany. st. Andreasberg is also the
name of Il town of about 1000 inhabi-
tants, the principal industry of which is
raising canarics. Every one is in the
business there, but there are certain
breeders who give it more particular care,
and they have n great reputation through
out Germany. 1t is almost impossible to
import the very finest st. Andreasberg
aanaries to this country. They are
snapped up by the big German fanciers,
who will pay as high as 400 or 800 marks
for n good singer. Think of a canary
bird costing $150l
''rhe st. Andreasberg trained canary is
smaller and more delicate than the com
mon bird and its plumage is not so bright
and pretty. But its song is perfection.
By judiciously mating the birds of the
most pronounced excellence the breeders
are able to produce those from
whose song all harsh notes have been
eliminated. The music which these little
fellows can trill forth is exquisite, but it
is all the result of tho most careful in
struction. A perfectly trained canary
will always begin its song with Il few
faint notes, which sound like the first
twittering Of birds at dawn heard when
you are fast asleep. 1t is n mere z
ton of n song. Then will come n roll
still very faint-in three octaves, first low,
then higher and then down again. Grndu-
ally the o increases in volume until it
bursts forth in all its rich fulness. New

A Monster Wave.

PORTLAND. Me-, Dec. 3O.-I'he light
keeper at Portland Head reports that
this city had a narrow escape from des
truction by a tidal wave during Wednes-
nights storm. An apparently monster
wave came in the shape of a pyramid. 1t
struck first against the outer line OF the
rock and at that time n mass of water
lowered up even>with the light house it
self. Between the line of rock extending
for perhaps 100 feet along the sea line
and the shore is an opening of some forty
feet deep and varying from ten to twenty
feet in length. This space was never filed
with water until last night, when the
great wave broke and filled it from above.
Waves of ordinary size and power
breaking and pressing behind added their
strength to that of the monster, and the
entire mass was hurled sixty feet above
high water mark against the engine.
boiler and foghorn house. The force of
the blow was such hat the building, built
as strongly as possible, was bent, twisted
and shattered. The great iron stays were
snapped as though they had been pipe
stems. and the rcceding wave carried
with it everything on shore, including
stones weighing many tons.

SAN Francisco, Dee. 30.-Thcre have
been isolated cases OF smallpox in this
city during the past three months, to
which attention has been called by the
local press, and owing to the discovery of
several cases of smallpox outside of
Chinatown the city board of health has
issued a warning. and as a consequence
the offices of the board have been filled
with people to day to be ~vacrinated, and
stringent regulations have been taken to
prevent any general epidemic. There are
about fifty patients in the pest house at
the present time and several have died,
though the malady has generally been of
a mild type. 1t is claimed that the first
cases were brought here on a China
steamer about tlrse months 60. -Four
Cinnamon are said to have died on the
voyage. but as the ship physician failed
to make a report of the facts the ship was
allowed to land her passengers without
remaining in quarantine.

WINoNA. Dec. 3O.-A very peculiar
case came up before Judge Start in the
district court to day on the petition of b.
H. Lee and wife to adopt an infant. Lee
is 20 years old and has been married II
year. Soon after his marriage he was
arrested, charged by Annie Boo with
being the father of her ilIegitimate child.
Lee was arraigned on the charge of has.
tardy, and the case was continued to the
March term Of court. In the meantime
a settlement was effected with the COM
planning witness, by which Lee agreed to
adopt the child us his heir. Hence the
petition to adopt. In hearing the petit
ton, Judge Start remarked that the case
was n very unusual one, where a married
m was willing to adopt her hus-
bands illegitimate child. Both Lee and
his wife beth testified to their great will
ingness to adopt the child and treat it as
their own. As the mother is a servant
girl and unable to care for the infant,
Judge Start granted the application.

A BIoodthirstv Circular.

New YORK, Dec. 30.-Copies of the
following bloodthirsty document were cir
culated on the streets this morning where
workingmen could get them:
Torch and bomb must i, applied.
Fellow workmen the time has come. The
agencies of science must play a part in the
struggle of the future. Yesterday it was
the slaughter of our comrades at Oh cago.
To-day it was the assassination of Co.. 900
of our brothers on the Reading and Phil
adelphia railroad system. True, the sword
is the weapon of circumstances, but their
victims perish all the same. Do not waste
your force on scabs. They are only the eff
feet of the present damnable commercial
and competitive system. Destroy by all
the agencies at your command the direct
representatives of the system, the Corbins,
the Maxwells and the Goulds. Let the
torch, the bomb or the bullet strike them
now. Let all they possess be given to the
flames. Hound them day and night.
The strike must be made the war Of the
classes. Brothers, remember Chicago and
vour oath.

McNeaIiv,s TravnIe.

HALIFAX, N. S, Dec. 3O.-Frank
McNeally, the Saco bank thief, has made
a statement as to how he robbed the bank
and where he has been since the robbery.
He says that the idea of taking the bonds
and money first entered his head on the
afternoon Of Aug. u, the day he fled,
He slipped the bonds into his pocket and
also took SO, 900 in cash. He took a train
for Vermont that afternoon. Two hours
after he had left he would have given the
world if he could have been back in Saco
and replaced the bonds in the bank before
the next morning. IL was impossible,
however, to return in time. From Yer
mont he went to Montreal, thence to
Quetec, from which place he sailed for
Europe Sept. 3. He spent several months
in England, then went to Paris and short
ly afterward to Egypt. He did not touch
the bonds after he place d them in his
trunk. From Cairo he wrote the bank
officers, confcssing his guilt and offering
to restore the bonds.
After that time the bank officials have
been cognlzant of his movements and his
going to Halifax was with their approval.
The whole thing has been settled and the
bank will not lose a dollar. When the
grand Jury meets in January the indict.
ment against him will be quashed and
McNeally will return home. He was wait
ing in Halifax for that purpose when,
without authority from the bank, he was
arrested.
SAco. Ne, Dec. 3O.-The last infer.
nation received in regard to the McNeally
defalcation is to the effect that McNeally
was taken sick with Nile fever while in
Cairo, Egypt, and, feeling himself incap-
able Of taking care of the bonds, hid them
securely in that city, where they now are.
He is said to be really penitent, and will
accompany the banks agent to the place
where the bonds are hidden and will give
them up. He will not return to the
United States until the indictment is dis
